Get the code weavers version of Wine via red-carpet's code weavers 
subscription.  It comes with a config wizard.  The hardest part about wine 
is generating that stupid config file.  of course Wine still bails on lots 
of stuff,  but I've used it to run some trivial apps, and beside using the 
garish and frumpy win32 widgets instead of my sleek and themed GTK ones, 
it all worked.
